CUPERTINO, CA (PR Web) – July 19, 2011
If you are in project management, wouldn't you like to be described as a project manager who is a successful, influential, and respected leader of important efforts in the organization? In #BUSINESS SAVVY PM tweet, PM veteran Cinda Voegtli shows you how. All you need to do as a project manager is to get business savvy!
So who or what makes a business savvy PM? In Cinda's words, “a business savvy project leader becomes an advocate for the project from the perspective of its end customers and its business value to the company. She or he focuses on clarity and communications with everyone—project sponsors, the team and customers. The business savvy PM knows that the success of a project depends on building relationships that engender trust.” In short, such a manager quickly wins respect as a leader from the starting line.
Cinda Voegtli's experience shines through, cover to cover, and it's no surprise that praise for the book has been flowing in. Jeff Richardson of Empowered Alliances writes, "The practical project management tips that Cinda Voegtli is known for, in small bite-sized nuggets—delicious! I’ll use this book as a quick regular reminder to keep my networking projects on track." Laura Erkeneff, CEO of Training for Techies exclaims, "This book provides fast insights that can help lift project managers out of a purely operations mode of thinking—and into strategic business-driven thinking that will truly set them apart!"
#BUSINESS SAVVY PM tweet lights the way to understanding the business value of a project—and why your company is undertaking it. Among other things, you will develop a keen sense of the company’s strategy, and of how your project fits in the big picture. With tweetable, actionable bits of wisdom like "Insist on knowing the project selection criteria & process that led to this project. Why does it exist?" this little book gets you business savvy—about your project, your organization, and yourself.
